Minikube unusable for multiple users on Ubuntu with docker driver #21373

What Happened?

The main problem I'm facing right now is that Minikube refuses to use docker without root.
If I use a regular minikube start run with --driver docker it gets the error in the logs below. For some reason it constantly tries to force itself to use docker with root privileges:
📌 Using Docker driver with root privileges

Either way, once minikube has been created, anyone aside from the main user who created the profile can't seem to access it. Even if the user has access to the same docker group, and updates their MINIKUBE_HOME environment variable, they still get the "no server found for cluster" error.

Is there a way to make the server fully shareable between all users?
